I hope some of you guys can weigh in on a strange problem.
I had a 64 GB Micro SD Card that was previously used in a HDW5231R-ZE cam. I think I put the card in a new T5442T-ZE (to make sure the SD card slot worked) and formatted it in this new cam. I got a strange prompt suggesting that the T5442T-ZE was going to use a new type of file system while formatting, see below.

I then put the SD card back into a HDW5231R-ZE cam and installed it in a hard to reach location. Now when I go to the web interface - storage section of the HDW5231R-ZE, I see what looks like two cards showing up. See below.

What's worrisome is that when I try to format either of these two disks, I get a failure, and the disk shown changes to the following, seemingly much reduced in size. I can try to format this smaller disk, and I'm told it succeeded, but it remains this small size. Further, when I reboot the cam, both disks show again as per the image above. Weird.

Have you guys seen this before? Does the T5442T-ZE use some new proprietary file system to format SD cards that the HDW5231R-ZE doesn't recognize and can't reformat? The cam is in a tricky location and I'm hoping not to have to climb up there to retrieve the SD card and format in a computer. Can I get out of this conundrum somehow?
